Hi there :)
I’m new in Facebook but not for studying in Lotus.
After some classes in art studio like drawing and painting I found my talent in photography and I started academic program because I knew the short courses are for fun and not helping me but with Lotus certificate that is approved by government I can improve my carrier.
Very short I can say I really enjoyed with one to one training by high qualified professor and his team for helping me in editing and studio practicing.
Beside the program, here I want to thank for providing me all needed equipment with cheaper price in market. some of them were not easy to find or set easily, and it is very important to me for avoiding my time and money looking for specific items or good technical support after buying, and I got whatever I needed during my classes.
I recommend Lotus for studying academic art courses, enjoy :)

Even the person who teaches the digital editing in photoshop is awesome. The entire faculty is outstanding & I highly recommend this Intitute if you are thinking of doing a photography course in near future.

Lotus Educational Institute was more than what I expected. As an African girl and a law student I decided to take a short summer course in interior design and decoration in the UAE. I searched for various schools and when I found Lotus Educational Institute I had a very warm and welcoming treatment. The learning environment is so clean and convenient, beautiful I must add. My learning experience was very enlightening and my tutor was the best. Adding the fact that Lotus is an accedited institution by the KHDA, I got a good offer. I now have a better understanding and I have fallen in love with my passion the most! Lotus has given Me the opportunity to be a certified interior decorator. Thank you for such a wonderful and educating experience!

I have always loved art but never had the courage to learn it till I found Lotus institute. The professional teachers teach me everything very smoothly and with patience. Finding this institute has helped me to enjoy my life more the ambience of the classroom is perfect, you have always a teacher to guide you but there are few other students doing their project there too so you never get bored. I definitely recommend it to everyone in different ages it’s never too early nor too late to learn how to create art and enjoy it.

I've always dreamed of going to Art school and never had the chance to do so due to many circumstances. However, now that I finally have the opportunity to do so, I'm so grateful that I waited this long, because I know that no school can compare to Lotus. The quality of teaching and learning is professional, engaging, valuable and enjoyable. I highly recommend this school to anyone interested or looking to pursue a degree in Art.

I have been a student at Lotus for almost 2 years. The curriculum is structured but also has sufficient flexibility to cater to personal interests and schedule. The diversity of students at the institute makes learning more engaging and fun. The teachers are very empathetic, talented, and considerate. While I have been painting on porcelain for many years, I was keen to expand my knowledge of different techniques and elements of art and hence joined Lotus. I am extremely happy learning different forms, styles and elements. I feel that a holistic program as this is very enriching and fulfilling to anyone with an interest in art.
